From Jacko Page   

Taken at the Trafford Arms  L to R Tony Tighe,Simon White, David Leigh, Andy Hobbs, Simon and Andy D Coy 2 Para both left in 1979 Simon doing Ukraine drivers

That's the place to be when life gets on top of you, a few jars and a good laugh works wonders.

Long may it exist! 👍 

Laffter deffo the Best medicine Bob! Altho wimmin think thiz summat wrong wi thi when tha laffs at owt, like that big Black fukker who got let outa the slammer n thi kunt find im in Londonistan, fukkin gud luck wi that! Wuz wetchin the gogglebox this mornin n blue lagoon Trevor Macdonald wuz on so a sed ta the "Trouble", Fukkin ell! The kunts gorra job on Sky TV! already!" Not a fukkin titter!

Jacko said they delivered the trucks in a convoy to a location in Poland  the Ukraine pick them up there. The company doing the transfers I think is based around Aldershot. Those  guys did a delivery last summer stopping in Arnhem then Colditz. They are always looking out for drivers.   

That,s me fukked then Jack! 😎 

Stevie Wonder's free then I think!

Along with Ray Charles No.2 driver.

Navigator! 🤣 

Used to have one when driving called th "Trouble"

Instead of a satnav you had a SatVal!! 🤣 I've got something similar......"Slow down! Watch out for that lorry/car/bike/pedestrian! He's braking/indicating! Turn right/left (after you've passed the turn of course!) etc etc. How we ever managed to drive on our own without the talking passenger seat I don't know! 🙄 

They,re a fukkin nightmare Pat! Number of times av put the anchors on n shouted "You fukkin drive then!" n steamed outa the jam jar leavin er wi a boat race like a slapped arse! She drives now but just keep mi gob shut! relieved ta get back ta the gaff in one fukkin piece! Different wi daughter Samantha, she,s shit ot n drives like a used to, much better n a lot younger!

@pat Apparently Secombe's answer to "has anyone seen a gun around here ?" was "What colour was it?"

Charlie, when you see the likes of Harry Seacombe, Spike Milligan etc from the Goon Show. These modern day so called comedians aren't a patch on them mate. In fact there are a lot who couldn't make me raise a smile.

Perhaps it's the modern snowflake society who have killed comedy as we know it.

Arthur Askey and Ted Ray come to mind. We will not see these times again

Arthur Askey, Ted Ray, memories of black n white goglebox, Charlie Chester, Jimmy James, Arthur Evans also blasts from the past.
